I've never had as good of a season and this years. I started by spraying the cages with Intermitox and using Mil-Ban, and the birds got some U200. I started with the older birds that weren't doing so well. I also had some issues with the weather which caused some eggs to not hatch. The exhibition birds went great, they all had 3 or 4 young. I didn't lose many birds, and the lice didn't cause much of an issue, except near the end.

At the start of June I was done and had about 330 young, which is more than I've ever had. The hot weather doesn't seem to cause many issues, they get fresh water two times a day and bathing water once a day.

Next in line is the world championship in Zwolle, which I believe will go really well.
